As part of the Mental Health Awareness Week (18th-22nd May), the Sports Service are inviting individuals, Teams, Clubs, Departments and Colleges to join them in completing a Virtual Climbing Challenge.
There are a range of different individual, family and group challenges that you can take on from climbing the University Library Tower to scaling a mountain! You can do them in a day or across a week depending on the time you have available and your current fitness levels. There will also be the option to raise money for the University COVID-19 PPE Appeal Fund if you wish.
To complete the challenge(s) you can use your stairs, a step, a local hill or fitness machine (if you have one available!). The idea is to count the steps/distance as you move upwards (Sorry, the downhill parts don’t count towards the total!). You can walk, run, cycle or literally climb, and if you want to wear fancy dress then please do go for it!
The Sports Service staff will aim to climb the equivalent of Mt Everest in a day on Monday 18th May!
We have provided some example challenges below, but please feel free to find your own climbing challenge that is meaningful to you! If you like, you can share our template challenge card below and take a selfie before you start for your social media pages.
If you don’t feel that his challenge is for you at this time then please do take a look at what other activities are available as part of Mental Health Awareness Week: www.sport.cam.ac.uk/mhaw
We also have a range of articles and activity ideas on our website.
Fundraising for the University COVID-19 PPE Fund
Whilst we may have gone past the first peak, we all recognise that COVID-19 will be with us for some time.
As such, the Sports Service has set up a Virtual Climbing Challenge donation page in collaboration with CUDAR (Cambridge University Development and Alumni Relations) for anyone that would like to use this challenge to raise money for the University PPE Fund. Please note that it is not essential to raise money to participate in the challenge, it is just there as an option if you wish.
You could pick a challenge and make a personal donation to the fund on completion. Or you could get friends, family and colleagues to sponsor you.
About the Fund…
The aim of the University’s PPE appeal is to ensure that high-grade Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is available for health and social care professionals, caring for patients with COVID-19 in hospitals and care homes in Cambridge and the East of England. A team of Cambridge doctors, nurses, scientists and engineers (led by Sadaf Farooqi and Toni Vidal Puig) are working with their academic collaborators in the UK, China and other countries to purchase PPE at scale. The Appeal team want to guarantee the safety and protection of frontline staff, so they can focus entirely on what they do best – caring for patients. The money raised by the fund will go towards purchasing:
Safety Goggles
FFP2 and FFP3 respirator masks (that prevent inhalation of the virus)
Surgical gowns
£150 buys enough FFP3 respirator masks for the clinical team who care for one patient in Intensive Care, to wear for one day.
If individually we can raise/donate a small amount, then collectively we can reach a sum that can make a real difference to the Appeal.
You can find more information about the Appeal by visiting their website – https://www.4cppe.com
Cambridge University is recognised as much for its illustrious sporting tradition as it is for its excellence in education, learning and research. Over the past 150 years, the University has been home to some of the world’s greatest sportsmen and women, from Michael Atherton, to Emma Pooley, to a host of Olympians and Paralympians.
That history translates into a vibrant sports scene in the University today. With a vast range of sports clubs and societies, the University is one of the country’s leading centres for student sport. Cambridge regularly places in the top 20 universities in the country in BUCS competition, and a range of scholarships for elite athletes are available.
Sport at Cambridge is supported by our world-class facilities. Opened in 2013, the University Sports Centre has a fitness suite, sports hall, squash and fives courts, studios and team training room used by international performance athletes. The Sports Service also maintains dedicated athletics and hockey facilities at Wilberforce Road Sports Ground, while cricket and tennis have their home at Fenner’s, one of the country’s most historic and iconic sports venues. A range of other club and college grounds are available across the city, catering to rugby, rowing, and many other sports besides.
The University Sports Service is committed to developing sport within the University and across Cambridgeshire. You can find out more on this website, or you can contact us if you have further questions.
